Hate one another! Had 2 storms come through in the past week and both times my truck got stuck on my street so I had to take it back to this church in the front of my neighborhood and walk home...

Hope this is enough weight to give me traction tonight going to work

Nice Solid Tonneu cover :) Man you guys got dumped on up there. Good luck and stay off the road with it. Mines bad enough in the rain. No rear traction what so ever.

HAHA. That is great
Well I live in CO and we just got hit pretty good with snow. My R/T is my daily driver so I have no choice. Not to mention I got blasted with antifreeze yesterday when the heater core went on me.

its all about tires bro, snow tires will tame the beast! i just drove right up my driveway thats about 4 inches deep of snow. i had to go pick up my lunch and didn't have time to shovel it so i had to drive right over it.
the thing i always wondered is why dodge didn't put a shifter selection for second gear starts. that would be super helpfull in snow.

Yeh if you want to drive it all year in a state that gets snow, 200 dollars worth of tires will save you a decent bit of lost work, insurance deductables and headaches.

Good luck with thosse on a R/T. I have the same size, and while they work good in the snow and I've neveer had a problem getting around, I wish i would have opted for the 235/70/15 to get a little more rubber on the ground when it's dry. I can spin the tires at will up to 50mph roll, and can't go past 1/2 throttle if that from a stop, and that's on dry pavement.

Grrrrrr Atlanta has just recieve a bit of snow. Looks to me like about 4 inches. I know this isn't shit compaired to up north but noone down here knows how to drive in the snow. I guess I will be hearing sirens all night long.

Snow tires solve all traction problems in snow.

Well had to drive home this morning from work and once again it failed misurably. Sliding back and forth almost the entire way home (Home being the chuch parking lot in the front of my neighborhood, since that seems to be its favorite spot during snow) On a lighter note though, that thing will do some awesome donuts! :drive: me and my coworkers had a snowball fight and did donuts this morning after work!

the only time i have issues in the snow is when i hit the pedal,the rs-a's arent that bad in the snow,i made it 80 miles round trip to work with no incidents,but other people werent so lucky,a suburban on the parkway rolled a few times and pancaked the roof and from what i saw was a yellow tarp draped over the driver side portion of what was left of the vehicle
